Wyoming wants to create it’s own Navy?
So I read today on the Drudge Report that State Representative Kermit Brown of Wyoming had put a bill forward that passed that creates a commission study options in case of a nationwide economic or political collapse. While I may or may not question the need of such a bill, I saw something really funny in it. The bill wants to study options for creating Wyoming currency, starting up a draft, creating it’s own standing army, acquiring aircraft for an air force, and best of all, acquiring an aircraft carrier.
Now I may not have gotten all A’s in geography back in high school, but apparently I am better at it than State Representative Brown because I happen to know that Wyoming is completely landlocked. The nearest ocean is the Pacific, which is at least 600 miles and two states away. What oceanic interests would they need to protect? Where would they dock it? I mean, if you are going to front a bill that could be interpreted as silly by any number of political opponents why would you include a provision that takes it from the kind of silly category and catapults into the whoopee cushion zone?
Anyway, I thought it was funny. This Titanic image I found in Dave’s funny t shirts. Have a good one.
